Philip Guston by Robert Storr
4.0
I love these books in the Abbeville Modern Masters series. They treat each artist chronologically, place em in the context of eir contemporaries, and even include a section about the artist's particular process and preferred media. Great resources for someone like me who's playing around with lots of different methods.
I chose to read about Guston because he was mentioned in [b:Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and Me|13542990|Marbles Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and Me|Ellen Forney|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1356148063s/13542990.jpg|19107284]. He's fascinating, because he started out as a figurative artist, moved to abstract expressionism, and then returned to figurative work late in his career, with striking cartoonish imagery that most people associate with him.
